In desperate situations, I will allow you to take it home to finish.) For this particular unit, the first page is a page of bookmarks for you. You may separate it from the rest of the pack, cut them out, and place them where you will see them most: in the car, on the mirror, in a book, etc.1. Take Sadlier Unit 1 TEST.
4. Vocabulary Theater Planning
Homework:
1. Finish your Sadlier Unit 2 Workbook- DUE: 9/24

My vocabulary tests can be hard. Merely knowing the definition will not help you. Practice using the words in your own vocabulary when you speak to your peers, parents, and teachers.
*Before every vocabulary test is given, you have an opportunity to earn extra credit on the test in what I call "Vocabulary Recall." Before the test, 4 minutes will be set on the clock, and you will have to write down as many vocabulary words (spelled correctly) as you can recall from your memory on notebook paper. You can get +1 for each word you remember and can spell correctly within the 4 minutes. Recall words must be from current unit. *The day before the STAAR Writing Test (at the end of March) be prepared for the ALL UNITS- VOCABULARY RECALL TEST! At this time the words will not be bonus and will actually account for the entire major grade. To make a 100, you will need to have about 40 of the 240 words that will have covered by that time in your recall memory.
